Selection Guide
Use the following criteria to confirm the IC693MDL390 is the right module for your application, or to identify the best alternative:
- Step 1 – Confirm platform: Verify your PLC rack is Series 90-30. Check the CPU part number prefix (IC693).
- Step 2 – Confirm output voltage: IC693MDL390 is rated for 120VAC. If your field devices run on 240VAC, consider IC693MDL391.
- Step 3 – Confirm point count: 16 outputs per module. For 32-point density, consider IC693MDL340. For 8-point, consider IC693MDL310.
- Step 4 – Confirm load type: Triac output is ideal for resistive and inductive AC loads. For DC loads, select a DC output module (e.g., IC693MDL752).
- Step 5 – Confirm current rating: Check per-point and per-module current ratings against your load requirements before ordering.
- Step 6 – Contact Konmask.com: If you are unsure, send us your existing module part number and application details — our engineers will recommend the correct solution.

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
- Q: Can IC693MDL391 directly replace IC693MDL390?
- A: The IC693MDL391 is a 240VAC version of the same module family. It can physically fit the same slot, but your field wiring and load voltage must be 240VAC. Do not use a 240VAC module on a 120VAC circuit.
- Q: Is IC693MDL390 compatible with PACSystems RX3i?
- A: No. The IC693MDL390 is designed for Series 90-30 racks only. PACSystems RX3i uses a different backplane architecture and requires IC694 or IC695 series modules.
- Q: Can I use a third-party replacement module?
- A: Some certified third-party modules claim compatibility. However, GE does not officially endorse third-party replacements. Contact Konmask.com for verified compatible options with quality guarantees.
- Q: How do I know if my IC693MDL390 has failed?
- A: Common symptoms include outputs not switching, fault LEDs on the module, or PLC fault codes related to the output module slot. Always check GE Series 90-30 fault diagnostics in Proficy ME before replacing hardware.
- Q: Do you supply new or refurbished units?
- A: Konmask.com supplies both new-in-box and professionally refurbished units depending on availability. All units are tested and certified before shipment. Please specify your preference when inquiring.
